उच्चैःस्थानं त्वात्मनश्चित्स्वभावानीचैर्यानं कर्मलेपाद्गुरुत्वे । तस्माद्धर्म कर्ममुक्त्यै विधेयालोकाग्रे स्यायेन ते स्थानमहम्
॥८१॥
Meaning :- The vital power of the Soul is of the nature of Agurulaghu. In other words, its nature is alwaysto rise upwards while the Pudgalas of the fire body and other are Gurulaghu. The nature of a substance which is heavy is always to go down. On account of this, the Soul to which the Pudgalas have stuck fast descends down below. The Soul assumes various bodies in the kingdoms down below in direct proportion to the dense coasting of the Karmas and the fast attachment of the Pudgalas to it. Exactly according to the same law, the Soul rises above in direct response to the purity of its cit, mind, when it becomes absolutely bereft of the Karmic dirt, it attains to the highest part of the Loka in lieu of the purity of its cit; the mind. Therefore, Oh ! Bhavya ! if you have any desire or if you have any, aspiration for the achievement of the topmost status, unfold your spiritual potentiality by resorting to religion and reveal the utmost purity of the cit, the mind by shedding off the Karmic coating.
